Question
If the volume of a tank is 4,750 cubic centimeters, what is the volume of the tank in cubic meters? (1 centimeter = 0.01 meter)
- 0.00475
- 0.0475
- 0.475
- 4.75
- 47.5
Topics: conversions, units
Solution
Step 1
We identify the given length conversion and convert cubic centimeters to cubic meters by cubing the linear conversion factor.
1 centimeter = 0.01 meter 1 cubic centimeter = (0.01)^3 cubic meters = 0.000001 cubic meters 4,750 0.000001 = 0.00475 cubic meters
Step 2
We confirm the cubic conversion from cubic centimeters to cubic meters and match the computed value to the answer choices.
4,750 (0.01)^3 = 4,750 0.000001 = 0.00475 Matches option A: 0.00475
Answer
A
